MACHINE USE

Follow these few simple steps to achieve the best results.
1. True Up One Face – Feed one face of the board over a jointer, making thin cuts with each pass, until the entire surface is
flat.
Plane to Thickness – Place the side you planed in STEP 1 face down and feed the board through the planer. Plane until this
2.
side is flat, then plane both sides of the board until you are satisfied with the thickness. Make thin cuts, and alternate sides with
each pass. If, during the planing operation, you notice the board twisting, warping, or bowing, repeat STEP 1 and true up one
face.
3. When planing long stock, provide table extensions to support the infeed and outfeed end of the workpiece.
4. Plane with the grain only, and keep planer table clean. Occasionally, wax the table surface to reduce friction during the planing
operation.
5. Cross-cut to Final Length – Cross-cut lumber to final length.
The knives on the planer will not wear evenly if the wood is fed through the same spot on the table every time.
Feed the wood through the planer at different spots on the table to help eliminate uneven wear of the knives.

kEEP MACHINE CLEAN
Periodically blow out all air passages with dry compressed air. All plastic parts should be cleaned with a soft damp
cloth. NEVER use solvents to clean plastic parts. They could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material.
Wear certified safety equipment for eye, hearing and respiratory protection while using compressed air.
FAILURE TO START
Should your machine fail to start, check to make sure the prongs on the cord plug are making good contact in the
outlet. Also, check for blown fuses or open circuit breakers in the line.
LUBRICATION & RUST PROTECTION
Apply household floor paste wax to the machine table, extension table or other work surface weekly. Or use a commercially
available protective product designed for this purpose. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for use and safety.
To clean cast iron tables of rust, you will need the following materials: a sheet of medium Scotch-Brite™ Blending Hand
Pad, a can of WD-40 ® and a can of degreaser. Apply the WD-40 and polish the table surface with the Scotch-Brite pad.
Degrease the table, then apply the protective product as described above.
LUBRICATINg THE FEED ROLLERS
The machine's feed rollers must be lubricated about every 50 to
100 hours of use or as needed. To lubricate the machine's feed
rollers, add a few drops of 10W Machine oil in the oil cups, two of
which are shown at (A) and (B) in Fig. 52. The other two are in the
same location on the opposite side of the rollers.
